    Definitely a needed upgrade. I put the duralast coils in as well and anytime i was over 14 psi of bost i was loosing spark and misfiring like crazy. Put the precision raceworks coil kit in and bam no more misfiring. All the way to 17psi on stock turbos

    I love this channel 🙌🏼 this is exactly how I nerd out on my mods. Thinking outside the box when you understand the fundamentals with a dash of engineering. Nice... 👌🏼 I put together a water to air inter cooler for my WRX with the cooler located in the factory position and everything plumbed to look factory 👍🏼 one of the many projects I accomplished with this school of thought. Now I’m on my 3rd 335xi and still going strong... Subscribed 🤘🏼 for sure!

  • @ThePandasian34
    @ThePandasian34 5 лет назад

    Great product, and great video, just one thing thats slightly off though. The position of the coils where the harness is crossing with the spark plug wire. When you do that, you have a higher chance of misfire because of the high current going through the spark plug wire creating a type of a magnetic field and will disrupt the 5 volt signal from the DME to command the coil to fire the spark

  • @zmanphx
    @zmanphx 5 лет назад +1

    I have 07 335 with over 100k miles. I am on bosch spark plugs with OEM coils. FBO tune. No misfires . Scotty Kilmer has video where he changes the spark plugs on n54. He makes a good point about BMW. A lot of plastic on the engine which gets hot. Then they put an insulated cover on top of the valve cover to keep the heat in. What if we ditch the engine cover so it doesn't trap the heat ? I replaced my VC at 100K.

    • @Objectional_Opinion
      @Objectional_Opinion 4 года назад

      zmanphx I did this. Absolutely no problems yet, just a bit louder BMW noises. Just took of the entire cover as it wouldn’t really fit with my cold air intake on my N55. I also cut down the plastic piece that holds the cabin air filter to mock the M3 style. You just have to get something to stop the rain/car wash from dripping straight from the windshield down onto the hot engine. Weather molding or something to direct everything water related to the sides only.

      @isfngu4213 5 лет назад

      Most have gone the easy route of using precision coils aka your same Gm style. But the majority that have look into stock simplicity have gone with R8 coils because the Same coils are use Lamborghini V10 Twin turbo and support over 1500hp . Those are offer by Bimmerlife are little expensive just for the harness but if you can read and figure out Systematic from a 3 wire to 4 wires you can save $300 and buy the coils under $160 can be found everywhere online.

    • @VehicularDIY
      @VehicularDIY  5 лет назад

      Yeah I pushed the dwell in MHD just to see what would happen. It felt awesome but only lasted about three pulls. When I removed the failed transistor it actually
      flaked apart so I think the transistors were heat cycled too many times and are already weak from the factory. I was wondering if I should just go MSD81 but I figured lets see if we can beef up the MSD80 with upgraded transistors.

    • @nickolascain2994
      @nickolascain2994 5 лет назад

      3 pulls ouch haha... yeah for sure will be interesting to see. pretty cheap fix compared to buying an 81. I would def be interested to see a pull thru datazap when you get your tune and everything squared away. I'm starting to dig into the tuning side myself. definitely interesting.

    Curious why you don’t film your test drives? Some pulls in the videos will be nice. Also I might have to try these coils out I had some from another vendor before but I was having problems with them ended up returning it and just going with stock coils.

    Hope you see this: My car continues to smoke but I'm 100% sure some of my injector(s) are stuck open and/or leaking. When I fire it up cold start it doesn't throw any codes but I hear crackles and pops constantly until the cycle is over. Driving to work today with oil temps still beloe 160F I saw smoke out the tail pipes but it stops. Coming home now, on a very hot day, it smokes more when up to operating temps but it happens both when cold and hot. New turbos, new valve cover, new coils, spark plugs, secondary cats in place, new HPFP, primary 02 sensors, you name it. Catless downpipes but with secondarys still there as mentioned. ALSO, when shifting from 1st, to 2nd and sometimes third, a normal backfire is normal since I have burble to 1 second on soft, but SOMETIMES it backfires so fucking loud it scares me. Im thinking too much fuel is being dumped from one or more injectors causing this.
    Anyway, my bank 2 index 12s were new in mid 2017 but my Bank 1 was replaced with some sketchy 12s but I'm almost sure one or two are slightly stuck open causing white smoke since im not burning oil OR losing coolant. AT ALL.
    Thoughts? Recommendations? Im thinking of buying a whole bank and replacing bank 1 then going from there, I highly doubt my bank two is the problem since they were BRAND NEW in early 2017.
    The car also hesitates on acceleration so I'm almost sure it's the injectors. My last thought is could the fuel pressure regulator cause the smoke? or just the hesitation. Im at 138k KMS (85k miles) Defintely not a head gasket.
    Thanks man, hope you see this, appreciate the help.

      Have you put in a new PCV valve? I'm guessing that was taken care of with the valve cover?

    Do u need to tune for the coils, like with MHD

  • @TDCfiero
    @TDCfiero 4 года назад +1

    So... lots of wrong in this video, I'll try to help. Those aren't anything near LS coils, Google a LS coil and you'll see. Not even close, wires different and everything. Spool and PR are both in Houston, Spool either completely copied the PR design, which is unique from the AEM, or copied the AEM. Their helix is nice, but product is a knock off of others. None of these are an OTS coil. That coil shell is off the shelf as a mercury marine coil that is wound for CDI. You cannot buy these in a store.
    The transistor grounds are shared, yes. The drive circuit ground for the coil is different. Injector mosfet fail because of flyback voltage, coil igbt are fine.
    For the resistance you're measuring secondary I presume, not primary. You can't measure secondary on OEM coils. Primary resistance is what the DME sees and wouldn't be 8, it should be closer to 0.5ohm. The secondary also isn't 8, it's more like 8,000ohm. Higher is generally better on secondary, but design matters too.
    Gap of .019" or .022" I presume you meant, not .19" or .22"
    Nice marketing video though.

      You could but would need special metal brackets to hold the coils for that engine.

    • @VehicularDIY
      @VehicularDIY  5 лет назад

      MSD81 came out with LCI models, it's the DME or ECU and it has an upgraded power rail and transistors so you don't burn them up.

  • @e46m3lol
    @e46m3lol 4 года назад +3

    Lots of inaccurate information in regards to the DME...
    The only problems MSD80 ever have are with the injector mosfets and for the past few years random people have been claiming that after market coils caused Injector mosfets to fail which is 100% false. These 2 circuits are not directly shared, and the issue with injector mosfet failures have been occurring for the past decade long before any performance coils existed. Unfortunately people trust what the read on forums or hear in youtube videos even if false and then they share what they have heard with others and those people believe it as well. You can rest assured the drivers for the ignition system which is not a mosfet at all it is an IGBT will not ever fail due to coils. If you do have a failure it will be for an injector mosfet which will fail on you anyways regardless of if you upgrade coils or not and when it does fail the failure will be unrelated to the ignition coils you run.

    • @VehicularDIY
      @VehicularDIY  4 года назад +2

      Well it happened literally right after I selected the option in MHD to increase the spark dwell. A weak power supply in the ecu is the underlying issue. The coils demand too much current and the transistors that drive the injectors overwork due to limited power being available while the coils are working hard.

  • @ButtKickersReviews
    @ButtKickersReviews 4 года назад

    Bad info here. These ARENT LS coils, they’re IGN-1A Mercury Marine coils! The mercury coils are in a totally different league, as they operate efficiently over a WIDE range of ignition dwell settings. You won’t get LS coils to produce full spark on BMW dwell settings, BUT the IGN-1A will produce more ignition power than the LS coil on OEM BMW dwell. Adjust the dwell and they get even better. I PRAY nobody bought LS coils on his advice. The AEM coils are IGN-1A mercury coils as well
